Some Positivity, For Once … Apparently

So Kristin tells me that while she enjoys my blog very much, apparently all I do is bitch about stuff. Well, I will do my best to throw in some positivity, if only to get her off my back. Her life is all roses … well … except for her penchant for constantly banging her […]

A Snow/Ice Rebuttal, If You Please

For those outside the DC area, you need to know that our fair leader of the free world caused a bit of stir when he announced yesterday that DC, as Kelly put it, full of snow pansies. This is because the entire city and region halted to a standstill when a wimpy amount of snow […]

Creepy And Cool All Over, Part 2

It’s been awhile since I last shared some of my HDR photography, so here is another gallery for you all to enjoy. You may have seen my first gallery from the abandoned asylum in Maryland that Bill and I got some great shots from. Well, here is a second batch of photos. As always, feel […]

Greening My Mother

For Christmas this year my mom got my sister and I “green gifts.” Because she knows Chelsea and I embrace the green movement fervently, this seemed to be her attempt to show that she pays attention to us when we talk. I don’t blame her, most of the time my sister only talks about drinking […]

What I’ve Watched: The Wrestler

This movie struck the right tone for Dan and I because we were in fact the best type of people to see it. Look, we’re both guys who were raised primarily by TV in the ’80s. Tom & Jerry, GI Joe, Transformers (not the over-the-top, unrecognizable Michael Bay stuff, the real thing), The Muppets and […]

Keep Your Head On a Swivel

For those of you who have still missed the boat on The Office, shame on you. If you were not able to catch last week’s The Duel episode, it was a classic. Two totally ludicrous characters, Andy and Dwight, fighting over the love of Angela, perhaps the single strongest example of a wet rag if […]

In the Spirit of Things

Good timing perhaps, but today is MLK Day, and our new leader of the free world made repeated pitches to Americans to do something of service for those less fortunate or for the better good of the nation/world. Thinking that our participation in a birthday pub crawl for Maggie was not going to cut it […]

Someone Check His Pulse

Hey, wha … wha … where am I? You stay classy, Dick(head) Cheney. Yes, that was him dozing off less than 10 minutes into W’s farewell address to the nation. Not the Insomniac’s Society of America, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Good lord, just go away. […]

Sinking the Boat

Yeah, that picture is of a boat full of sushi. A boat. Of sushi. The wife and I met two former colleagues of hers (from her law firm days) at our go-to neighborhood sushi restaurant. Everyone was craving sushi, and while I have seen the gigantic containers they give you the sushi in, I always […]

What I’ve Watched: Wall-E

To call Wall-E a love story would be too trite. To say it’s an environmental wake-up call to a generation of young viewers and their parents would place undue burdens on it. But to ignore that both of these themes resonate and are so strong and breath-takingly done would be to ignore what makes Wall-E […]
